One of sci-fi’s most beloved and enduring characters is the half-Vulcan Mr. Spock. He was the Science Officer/First Officer aboard the starship Enterprise in the original 1960s “Star Trek” TV series. As a Vulcan-human hybrid, Mr. Spock’s blood was not red, but green. This was because the dominant Vulcan genes produced blood cells based on copper, not iron. Leonard Nimoy brought the iconic character to life. Nimoy died Feb. 27, 2015. He was 83. Source: IBTimes.co.uk

Answer: According to Forbes, the King of Pop dominated the annual list of the top-earning dead celebrities. Michael Jackson reportedly generated $75 million in 2017, boosted by his recent CBS Halloween special, the Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil show, his latest greatest hits album Scream, as well as a stake in the EMI music-publishing catalogue. Golf icon Arnold Palmer came in at No. 2 on this year’s list with $40 million, largely credited to sales of his AriZona lemonade and ice tea beverage that bears his name.

-Queen Elizabeth
-Michael Jordan
-Vladimir Putin
-Mother Teresa

Answer: The incident occurred in 2005, when Kraft visited the Russian president in St. Petersburg after the Pats won their third Super Bowl title. “I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, ‘I can kill someone with this ring,'” Kraft said in 2013. “I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out.” Despite the fact that Putin walked off with the ring, Kraft still wanted it returned. Kraft gave up on his quest to get it back after he was strongly persuaded by the George W. Bush White House to let it go.

At birth, flamingos are a dull gray color. It isn’t their DNA that gives them their iconic pink coloring; they are what they eat. The trademark flamboyant pink that flamingos sport derives from beta carotene in their diets. The red-orange pigment is present in large amounts in the algae, brine shrimp and larvae on which flamingos dine in their wetland homes. The beta carotene breaks down in their digestive systems into pigments stored in their livers and deposited in their feathers and skin. Source: Britannica.com

-Waylon Jennings
-Ray Charles
-Paul Anka
-Little Richard

Answer: Country icon Waylon Jennings was meant to be on the doomed plane that crashed on this day in 1959, killing musicians Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson (a.k.a. the Big Bopper) and Ritchie Valens. Waylon Jennings was a member of Buddy Holly’s band when he gave up his seat to J.P. Richardson. Richardson was sick with the flu, and asked Jennings for his seat on the flight, to save himself a lengthy winter bus ride to their next gig. When Jennings told Buddy Holly that he was going to take the bus, Holly jokingly told him he hoped the bus broke down, to which Jennings replied, in jest, “I hope your ol’ plane crashes.” Jennings said this remark has haunted him ever since then.

-Cheerios
-Raisin Bran
-Special K
-Apple Jacks

Answer: Special K breakfast cereal was first introduced to the United States in 1955. Special K used to be marketed primarily as a low-fat cereal that can be eaten to help one lose weight. From the late 70s to the mid-80s, Special K ran an advertising campaign telling us that if we could pinch more than an inch of flesh at our waists, we needed to go on the Special K diet. “Can you pinch more than an inch?” quickly became the Special K catchphrase. Their current advertisements now tout the product’s nutritional benefits, by using the slogan “Eat Special. Feel Special.”
